Great Ayton is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, on the edge of the North York Moors. It lies 7 miles (11.3 km) southeast of Middlesbrough and 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of Stokesley on the border with the unitary authorities of Redcar and Cleveland and Middlesbrough. According to the 2011 Census, it has a population of 4,629. The name Great Ayton derives from the Old English Ea-tun, tun meaning farm and ea meaning river.
In the 18th and 19th centuries Great Ayton was a centre for the industries of weaving, tanning, brewing, and tile making. Subsequently, whinstone was also quarried from the Cleveland Dyke. It was home to the Great Ayton Friends' School (Quaker) from 1841 until it closed in 1997.
Great Ayton is at the foot of the Cleveland Hills beneath Easby Moor and the distinctively-shaped Roseberry Topping. The River Leven, a tributary of the River Tees, flows through the village and links its two centres, High Green and Low Green. The Cleveland Dyke, a narrow band of hard whinstone rock that runs for about 31 miles between Robin Hood's Bay and Eaglescliffe lies to the north-east of the village.
The village was the boyhood home of Captain James Cook, the British explorer and navigator and many notable local landmarks relate to this. The Cook family home on Bridge Street was built by James' father in 1755. The cottage was dismantled in 1934 to be shipped to Australia. Each stone was numbered so that the cottage could be reconstructed exactly in its new home in the Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne. A granite obelisk now marks the original site of the cottage in Great Ayton. The obelisk is constructed from granite taken from Point Hicks, the first land sighted by Cook in Australia.
The Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum is within a former charity school, founded in 1704 by landowner Michael Postgate. James Cook received his early education here from 1736 to 1740.
A statue on High Green depicts James Cook at the age of 16 looking towards Staithes where, according to tradition, he first felt the lure of the sea. The sculpture was commissioned by Hambleton District Council and is the work of sculptor Nicholas Dimbleby. It was unveiled on 12 May 1997. In the parish of Little Ayton high on Easby Moor is Captain Cook's Monument a 51 ft (16 m) high obelisk and visible for miles around. It was constructed from local sandstone and was erected in 1827. The village is served by Great Ayton railway station on the Esk Valley Line.

Roseberry Topping - Great Ayton, Country Walk North Yorkshire
We parked the car in Great Ayton where Captain James Cook studied as a child, and headed for the public footpath in Newton Road to commence the actual walk to Roseberry Topping & further onto Captain Cook's Monument at Easby Moor.
The day of the walk was an exceptional Spring day '27th of March 2012' and was infact one of the very best days in almost thirty years, the sun was very warm with virtually no wind.
Roseberry Topping is formed from sandstone, it is also known as the 'Yorkshire Matterhorn' due to its sugarloaf appearance, in 1912 half of the sandstone split away leaving what we can see today.
On a clear day from the summit you can see the entire Cleveland Plain which can stretch for upto fifty miles with views of the North Pennines to the West, alittle closer is the sprawling industrial town of Middlesborough.
Roseberry Topping is 1049 feet / 320 metres in height.
